Since the beginning of the Age of Discovery, the prosperity of the seafaring trade in the past few decades has not only allowed nobles and merchants to go to sea and make a fortune, but also those pirates, who have also sprung up all over the sea.

And those ocean-going merchant ships are their spring rain and the nutrients for their growth.

Of course, in this chaotic era, pirates and merchant ships cannot be completely distinguished, and a pirate flag on the tree, the harmless merchant ship will also become a fierce pirate.

And between wealth and life, Kadir quickly made a choice.

"Grow a white flag, you idiots!" Kadir didn't care about the captain's shouts, but used his authority to give orders.

Soon, seeing that resistance was hopeless, the sailors surrendered one after another, without the slightest intention of dying for their employers.

The captain glanced at the three pirate ships surrounding him, although they were not as big as his own 800-ton Galen ship, but their combat power was not at all a level, so it was better to surrender!

"We surrender, uncles, we surrender!" The captain raised his hands sensibly and shouted at the pirates whose faces could be faintly seen.

"Boss, this is a fat sheep!"

"But no, this ship is bulging and slow, although it is not as good as the gold ship, but it may not be much less!"

"Haha! Good luck today, you're going to make a fortune! ”

Seeing the surrender of the merchant ship, the pirates surrounded on all sides boarded the merchant ship one by one, looking left and right, and their ugly faces were filled with uncontrollable smiles.

Kadir watched the pirates with all kinds of weapons, jumping on their own ship, talking and laughing, their originally hideous faces looked extremely arrogant, obviously they were very satisfied with this ship.

He smiled bitterly in his heart, who would have thought that the first time he went to sea, he was almost at the door, and he was robbed, it was really unlucky! Whether or not even his life can be saved is two theories.

In a matter of moments, no less than 400 pirates landed on the merchant ship, and with less than 200 sailors combined, surrender seemed to be the right choice.

And Kadir, who had been observing the pirates, suddenly discovered a big secret, these pirates actually boarded the ship in an orderly manner, even if their faces were excited, but still did not loot the goods, gold and silver, but looked at them one by one, the surrendered sailors, as if they were waiting for something.

Eventually, a well-dressed pirate who looked like an aristocratic man approached, but his nondescript footsteps and outrageous movements betrayed him.

He had two thick beards, a captain's hat on his head, and a green agate ring in his hand.

"Very good, brothers, today is our day of great harvest, and next, I will reward everyone with a lot of rewards!"

As if he were a natural leader, he issued a summary, and although the traces of imitating the aristocracy were strong, he still achieved good results.

"Thank you, head!"

"Boss, you're the most generous boss I've ever seen!"

"Long live the captain, long live the wine, long live God!" ……

For a moment, the pirates, who had been in high spirits, were as if they had been injected with hormones again, their faces turned red, their hands were dancing, and their eyes were about to pop out.

Generally speaking, pirates do not have a basic salary, and only if they rob merchant ships, they will have an income.

The captain occupies 30 percent, the navigator, first mate, doctor and other functional sailors are divided into 20 percent, and the hard-working sailors are divided into 10 percent.

3:2:1, this is the ordinary penny pattern, of course, there are also strong captains who occupy half of them, thus accumulating a lot of wealth.

And the pirate leader wears a mask on his face, in the form of a skull, giving a terrifying shock.

When he had finished speaking, he ordered some of the pirates to search the merchant ships, and he came to the trembling captain step by step, and asked:

"You're from the East!"

"Yes, yes!" The captain nodded in fear, and said with a pale face:

"We have gold, spices, and ivory on our ship, all of which are for you, and I beg you to let us go!"

"Haha! I can't afford to be called an adult, I'm just a hard-working man who begs for money! ”

The pirate leader glanced at the timid captain, and then at the strong sailors of more than a hundred people who were peacefully tied hand and foot, and then looked up and laughed, and then patted him on the shoulder, and said:

"Since you have surrendered so well, for God's sake, I am happy today, so I will spare your life!"

Hearing this, the captain's whole body relaxed, as if relieved, and then collapsed on the deck, a yellow stream of water flowed from his crotch, and his face suddenly became happy.

"That's good, that's good! Thank you, thank you, your lord! ”

"That's all the Portuguese do! Hahahaha! The masked pirate leader looked at the pirates around him and laughed presumptuously in English.

"Boss, what did you just say? It's so ugly in Portuguese! ”

A pirate with a one-eyed patch, with his upper body exposed, asked with a big grin.

"It's nothing, I'm just going to let them go for the sake of their acquaintance!" The pirate leader explained to the pirates who were also questioning.

"Wait a minute, throw a few planks down, throw a few more, I said I'll let them go!"

"Yes, Boss, I'm sure I'll throw a few more bucks down and promise not to disappoint them! We pirates are also guaranteed to speak! ”

Immediately, a pirate took over, patted his chest, and swore an oath.

For a moment, all the pirates on the entire merchant ship showed a cheerful laugh.

Kadir watched the pirates' conversation coldly, unable to understand them, but intrigued by their weapons.

"These people have a lot of arquebuses, I'm afraid they have a strong background!" Kadir counted and found that the pirates had hundreds of arquebuses, which was not a small number.

Ordinary dukes in Europe may not have so many arquebuses.

"Guys, move fast! It's not far from Portugal, and who knows when the damn Portuguese navy will arrive, I don't want to try Portuguese artillery! The pirate leader said urgically.

Soon, in less than half an hour, the ship's cargo was counted, most of the merchandise was moved to the other three pirate ships to share the pressure, and the flag on the merchant ship was changed to the French style.

The merchant ship, along with three pirate ships, left the sea area before the arrival of the Portuguese navy.

And on the sea, more than a dozen floating planks hung more than a hundred sailors, shouting helplessly.

But it was already close to Portugal, and there were countless merchant ships passing by, and in less than an hour, they were rescued.

It seems that the pirates are still keeping their word.

Three pirate ships, along with the merchant ships they had just captured, sailed swiftly towards England.

At sea, the patrolling royal navy saw a red rose on the flag of the pirate ship and dismissed the blow to them.

"Big brother, why didn't the captain allow us to fight those pirates!" A novice sailor, asking the veteran with a vicissitudes of face on the side.

"Hey! You don't understand this! The veteran patted the recruit's head and said with a smile:

"Do you see the red roses on their flags? These are their life savers, and we can't beat them! ”

"Why is that?"

"Why do children ask so much! Work hard! The veteran glanced at him, said angrily, and wiped the deck.
